Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • A pasture wedge graph or feed wedge is a farm management tool used by dairy farmers for the purposes of managing pasture. It takes the form of a bar graph, that shows the amount of feed available in a pasture over time, and is therefore shaped as a declining wedge. Rotational grazing systems have developed on temperate pastures consisting of perennial ryegrass and white clover. The pre-grazing pasture mass and the post-grazing residual (1500 kg/DM/ha) are critical decisions the dairy farmer has to make every day. The development of the 'Rising Plate Meter' has enabled the pre-grazing and post-grazing pasture masses to be measured.· Pasture eaten, measured as megajoules of metabolisable energy per hectare (MJME/ha) or as kilograms of dry matter (kg DM/ha), is a key driver of profit for all farm systems i.e. pasture grown x pasture utilisation.
